This tongue-in-cheek (I assumee) statement reflects a growing frustration and realization that emergency responders will likely arrive too late. I take matters into my own hands by knowing the law and staying within that boundary. Texans have significant latitude for self-defense within the law. Texas law provides for our using our own hands in self-defense. When I am acting lawfully in self-defense, I am "taking the law into my own hands."
